Report of Executive Director: Legal & Business Services setting out the

Annual Review of the Council's Constitution.

Councillor Kaur moved the report of the Director Legal and Business Services detailing the annual review of the Council’s Constitution and Councillor Shields seconded.

Council noted an amendment to Paragraph 16 of the report regarding the proposed new membership for the Health and Wellbeing Board. There was a technical problem regarding the wording chosen for the additional local paediatrician, which was “A local community paediatrician”.  Health colleagues have advised that that this terminology may exclude any paediatricians who are not employed by Solent NHS Trust, as “community paediatrician” was a particular type of role/contract, and locally Solent were their sole employer.  Therefore, it was agreed to broaden the wording to “local paediatrician with knowledge of the community” to enable more paediatricians to be eligible.

RESOLVED:

(i)  To agree the minor changes to the Constitution and associated

    arrangements as set out in this report;

(ii)   To authorise the Service Director: Legal & Business Operations to

    finalise the arrangements as approved by Full Council and make    any further consequential or minor changes arising from the       decision; and

(iii)   To approve the City Council’s Constitution, as amended, including

    the Officer Scheme of Delegation, for the Municipal Year 2022-23.
